Please note that the DEX is on the Polygon Testnet environment and speed times may differ compared to mainnet usage.

How to Provide Good Feedback for Rewards

To qualify for the rewards, participants must provide useful feedback that the Blueshift development team can use to improve the DEX. 

Examples of valuable feedback include reporting UI issues, identifying typos, or uncovering bugs. 

All feedback is audited and graded. Blueshift will not provide rewards for basic or low-effort feedback such as “Good DEX”, “Not enough liquidity for swaps” or “Works well.” The aim of the testnet campaign is to engage users who are genuinely interested in testing the platform, discovering issues, and reporting them to help improve the overall user experience.
